Rimmel Match perfection foundation

When it comes to liquid foundations, I don't wear them every day, but I'm always happy to try out new ones I can use on special occasions, or on the days I want my skin to look flawless. I was very curious when I got the chance to try out Rimmel's Match Perfection foundation, because one of Rimmel's powders, Stay Matte Long lasting pressed powder, is my favourite blotting powder. I was testing the foundation for a while and now it's the time to write (well to type) all the impressions down.

Packaging

It comes in a pretty glass bottle with a pump. I use one pump for my whole face.

Texture

First of all, this foundation smells so nice. Like a perfume. Texture itself is very creamy and you can spread the product easily. It has SPF 20 which is always a plus.

Coverage

It's marketed as medium coverage foundation and that's exactly what you get. Like I said, I use one pump which gives me light coverage (which I prefer), but when I applied more it came to medium coverage.

Color range

In Serbia we have four shades to choose from, you can see all of them in the gallery bellow. I wish there was one lighter shade as well, I know a lot of people with pale skin struggle with matching foundations to their skin tone. Shade 103 is the perfect match for my skin tone. The point behind Match Perfection foundation is that it will adapt to your skin tone. I think this is because of its light texture, it blends into skin so well that it changes your complexion colour only slightly.

Durability

The only problem I had with Match Perfection foundation is that it's not as long lasting as I would wish. Note that my skin is oily, I think it will last longer on normal or dry skin. I mattify the foundation with Stay Matte Long lasting pressed powder and it looks nice until the middle of the day. That's when my skin starts to look a bit oily, it's not to obvious, but I can notice it.

Finish

It's creamy and dewy until I blot it with powder, which makes it more matte. Great thing is that it doesn't make my pores looks larger or fine lines prominent. It blends with skin perfectly. It also won't dry your skin out. I recommend wearing it with pressed powder on top, unless your skin is very dry.

Overall, I liked this foundation. It's light and creamy and blends with my skin well. I like the shade 103 a lot and the smell makes me happy when I'm doing my makeup. I wish it was more long lasting and that the shade 100 was also available in Serbia, for those with very light complexion.
